Kruisherenkerk, Gothic church in Kommelkwartier, Maastricht, Netherlands.

The Kruisherenkerk features a sandstone construction with vaulted ceilings, northern aisle, and multiple chapels along its southern side.

Construction of the church began in 1440 under architects Petrus Toom and Johannes van Haeren, with completion of the choir in 1459 and final works in 1509.

The church contains damaged Louis XIV stucco altars and stone sculptures depicting scenes from the legend of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles.

The church now serves as the reception, lobby, bar, and restaurant area of a five-star hotel established in the former monastery complex.

The monastery members specialized in copying, illuminating, and binding manuscripts while also providing pastoral care during plague epidemics.
